Was talking to my manager about it today at work, and I’ve been considering looking into it for some time now. Anyone from here do it, or have family that does it? I’m 100% interested in taking the test/out of state training/moving wherever they want me to. Sounds like it could be a promising career. Let me know what experience you have, if you actually have some. -Steve ---
